WRX22B1998 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) Ok I know about these, and I so far know that AMD is cheaper, but are there any stats or something comparing these two What i mean to say is, what is the equivalent intel core 2 duo compared to AMD x2 eg Is a core 2 duo E6700 faster than a AMD x2 5600+ ?

chris82 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 That Core2 is much faster. I don't "like" Intel but that processor will have much better performance than the other one you listed. Then again, Core2s can't really compare to the x2s since they're different generation processors. AMD equivalent = Phenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateSniper Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 As far as gaming is concerned, AMD is always one step ahead. though Intel did release quad core first. Personally I'll never go near Intel, they are a bunch of money grabbers, always making new chips with different slots, so you have to buy new motherboards etc, then their was the custom ram stuff they endorsed, again with different standards.. sure they made progress, but i think at the expense of people who want to buy the newest thing at the time rather than the best. /ramble over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Intel's shit wasn't true quad-core because it shared the cache, etc...AMD is great value for the money and are great overclockers. Intel's new lines are great at overclocking too but stay away from anything with the word "Pentium" in it...P4/Celeron are absolute shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
